Stay on target

AMC just renewed The Walking Dead for a 10th season, and the flesh-eaters aren’t the only enemies the survivors will be killing off.

On Monday, AMC announced the season renewal in a Twitter post. The post, which says “Listen closely,” features a group of zombies walking with an eerie soundtrack. The Walking Dead Season 10 will return to AMC in October.

The renewal announcement comes a few days ahead of the show’s Season 9 midseason premiere, which will air on AMC on Feb. 10. The Season 9 midseason premiere will expand on The Whisperers, a group of comic book villains who sport the skins of zombies to blend in with the flesh-eaters, Variety reported. The Whisperers, which debuted during the Season 9 midseason finale, will continue to challenge the core human squad of The Walking Dead.

No other details were announced on show’s 10th season, however it will be interesting to see if The Whisperers will continue to play an important role in The Walking Dead franchise.
